-Jazz Thali-
–
Jazz Thali is a London based jazz/traditional/fusion instrumental quartet interpreting musical pieces from retro Bollywood and from Hindu tradition, from Greek ‘rembetiko’ music, gypsy riffs and jazz tunes. The band has developed a unique multicultural music style, completing the missing links between Eastern and Western traditions and orchestrations. Extending the techniques of their instruments (tablas, saxophone, bouzouki, chord organ & double bass), Jazz Τhali produce sounds that resemble both native styles from older traditions as well as contemporary music styles in an amusing and playful manner.
